This is the last chapter in the wonderful installment of my series, which of course is all of Rick Riordan's imagination. I just used his charries…XD But anyway; this is the LAST CHAPTER IN THIS BOOK. The next book, which I put up another chapter commemorating my wonderful reviewers and I will say when the next book is ready, so if you're confused by that…just have me on either author alert or Story alert if you do not already. That will tell you when the next PJO is. Ok? Once again, if I complicated matters JUST PUT ME ON STORY OR AUTHOR ALERT TO KNOW WHEN BOOK 3 WILL COME OUT (which is actually very soon) THIS CHAPTER LONG, THE LONGEST I'VE EVER MADE!

Enjoy,

XOXO Verop ♥

Btw, all of Thalia's point of view will be in bold. All of Percy's point of view will be NORMAL. And all of Harmonia's point of view will be underlined.

Thalia's Point of View:

The underworld was heaven compared to Tartarus. Souls screamed in agony as fiery flames licked at their bodies. I gulped, maybe audibly. All it consisted of was an endless tunnel of darkness, with occasional fires spurring up. Gravity was nonexistent here, and we floated around like astronauts in space.

"Thalia…what is this place?" Annabeth whispered, holding on to her rope tight.

"Tartarus…" I swallowed again. "I never knew it could be this…painful though,"

"Luke!" Grover roared.

Annabeth and I took that as a good idea and started hollering his name, too.

"LUKE!"

"LUKE!"

All we could hear was screams and moans of pain.

"THALIA!" a voice roared.

I spun around, the rope, struggling at my waist.

That voice didn't sound like Luke's… it sounded like…Poseidon's!

"Guys!" I told Annabeth and Grover. "Did you hear that?"

"Was that Poseidon?" Annabeth asked.

"Sure sounded like him," Grover nodded.

"That is him. I'm positive of it!" I nodded firmly.

"What about Luke?" Annabeth asked in a small voice.

"I'm sure he's smart enough to go wherever the Gods are," I said.

"Fine,"

We started swimming towards Poseidon's voice.

"LORD POSEIDON?" I yelled.

"Thalia! Good! You're getting closer!"

We stopped at a fire that was burning intently. Something was in it…but what? I could hardly see past it's flames.

"Thalia!" the voice thundered.

"That's him!" I nodded at Annabeth and Grover. "It's Poseidon!"

"How do we get him out?" Annabeth said, her voice faltering as she stared at the god who was totally engulfed in the flames.

"You don't!" Poseidon said, his voice cracking dryly. "Luke passed me! He's trying to find some way out of Tartarus! I know it's foolish, but find him! He passed me! Go!"

"Thanks!" Grover bleated gratefully. "But doesn't that hurt?"

"A little pain is nothing," Poseidon sounded as if he was shrugging his shoulders. "I'm immortal,"

We nodded at each other and started swimming past Poseidon.

Percy's Point of View:

I stepped up to Apollo's chariot. The good looked as if he had a glaze over his eyes, like cataracts. He motioned for me to shut the door of the chariot. I did notice that it was Greek. Ancient Greek, not some Porsche or Firebird or whatever model he wanted. Grandpa was sure taking it back to the Ancient times. Apollo didn't say a word, thankfully, as he left the ground. Soon, we were riding over the Gulf of Mexico (recall that we were in Texas) and towards New York. I peacefully looked down and blinked.

Oceanus and his wife/sister (EW) Tethys were starting to make hurricanes and whirlpools. I smiled maliciously at this catastrophic disturbance. Soon, they were only a speck in the ocean.

I decided to sleep. We still had a long way to go…

-X-

Harmonia's point of view:

"Pan," I fingered my necklace. We'd just spent the night in a nearby subway station, getting no stares, thankfully from the mist that shielded us.

"Hmm?" he yawned, and got up, rubbing his eyes.

"I just had another dream," my mouth was dry.

"Really?" he said excitedly. "Where are they?"

"Not only them…but Eris too," I said slowly.

"Ok…where are they, including Eris?" he asked, growing impatient.

"Tartarus," I said softly.

-X-

Thalia's Point of View

We'd seen him. Luke's hand just slipped past a turn in the endless tunnel.

"LUKE!" I screamed.

Here's the problem. The rope wouldn't go any further.

"Thalia…" Annabeth shook my shoulder. "We're stuck! We've got to get him.

"But...but..." I gasped.

"He can't hear us," Annabeth said sadly.

"Stand back," Grover said in air of determination. He bit his rope off and Annabeth just in time grabbed his hand before he floated to nowhere.

"YOU IDIOT!" I screamed at him. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

"I've got to call him. I'll swim back," he told Annabeth. Then he faced me. "Hey Thalia. It's time for me to stop being a fraidy cat, ok? It's time for me to do my fair share. And it's time for me to confess that I like you. Ok? I understand that you love Luke and all…but I'm always here,"

My mouth slopped down at his confession. Grover just winked and wiggled his hand out of Annabeth's. Annabeth's eyes went wide as she tried to grab onto him again, but Grover quickly sped away.

"Luke!" we could hear his echoes.

Annabeth turned to me. "That must be the bravest thing he's ever done,"

"Yeah," I swallowed as I remembered his words.

I'm always here…

Grover's yells died away suddenly. Annabeth and I tensed. We didn't know if it was something bad or if he had found Luke.

"Thalia… should we…?"

"No. Then Nico would be pulling at nothing and we might fall into an eternal whirlpool," I shook my head.

"I know but still…" Annabeth bit her lip. The agonizing minutes dripped by slowly.

"T-Thalia?" a voice asked.

His head poked out from behind the tunnel, the familiar scar masked with dirt and soot.

"Luke!" I practically screamed and tugged against my rope, which of course, wouldn't move.

Percy's Point of View:

I smirked as I pushed the elevator up. I waited, waited. Finally, the familiar sensation of going up to Olympia hit my stomach. I yawned as the door opened. I stepped out and observed the area. Olympia looked as peaceful as I left it. Except with Zeus pacing and Hera glaring at a pillar. Athena looked tired, her face etched with worry. Hermes was sitting on the floor, wiping some tears away. Athena and Ares snuggled close as Ares kept whispering to her.

"Lord Zeus," I bowed to him.

They all snapped out of their wake and stared at me. Zeus, for the first time, looked at me with hopefulness.

"Perseus!" he sighed happily. "Finally!"

"Yes," I nodded. "Annabeth, Thalia, and Grover are gone. I can't find them! And then…Oceanus is starting to rule!"

"My brothers have gone into the pits of Tartarus!" Zeus wailed. "It's happening all over again!"

Athena's eyes widened.

"Father! Step back!"

"What?" Zeus looked at her.

"Too right you are," I laughed as I took out a marble.

Zeus, now, stepped back. The marble spun in my hand as I smiled evilly. Boy, being evil sure was fun!

A dust cloud was all around it as he emerged slowly. Kronos evolved from the marble, being twice as big as Zeus.

"PERSEUS, YOU TRAITOR!" he roared. The gods all sprung away. Kronos picked up Zeus by his cloak.

"I should have done this a long time ago, Son," he laughed.

"Let me down!" Zeus was cackling with electricity all around him.

"No, no," the titan smiled. "You'll never see down again,"

With a quick motion of his hand, Kronos threw Zeus in his mouth and swallowed.

Harmonia's Point of View:

We ran fast. The wind was picking up and we saw some televisions yell something about a huge whirlpool in the Gulf of Mexico.

"Don't tell me the titans are rising up again!" Pan said sadly.

"I should hope not!" I panted running fast.

"Listen, isn't there an easier way to go to the Underworld?"

"The way of the gods!"

"I'M a god!"

",..Then why didn't you do anything?"

Pan mumbled something about not remembering. He stopped and thought for a moment, then finally recited an incantation as he held my hand. I wasn't to focused on understanding since I just wanted to be in the underworld. I closed my eyes as a cool rush of air met my face.

"Open your eyes," a voice said.

I did, and dived to the floor. A sickle was thrown where my head would've been. Eris smiled evilly.

"I know you wouldn't of died," she drawled. "But I could've thrown you in Tartarus while you tried to heal,"

"Harmonia!" Pan was held back by a couple of skeleton soldiers. "The necklace! Don't forget!"

"This will end now, Eris!" I hissed at her, a sword shimmering in my hand. Sure, I was the goddess of harmony and stuff, but that doesn't mean I couldn't get some blood to spill.

"Great. You're not a chicken," a sword appeared in Eris' hand as she ran for my throat.

Thalia's Point of View:

Luke floated to me as fast as he could, Grover behind him.

He reached for my hand and caught it.

"Luke!" I hugged him hard, almost so hard that my hand became numb. "I'm so sorry for yelling at you! I had no idea it was Kronos!"

"That's ok," he pulled away from me and gave me a smile.

"Luke!" Annabeth hugged him too.

"Grover, are you ok?" I asked.

"Yeah," his smile was a little pained.

"I would've never known if Grover hadn't called," Luke held my hand so he wouldn't float off again.

"Annabeth, tug on the rope four times. Nico will pull us up," I nodded to her.

She grabbed Grover's hand, (who let go of Luke) and tugged hard on the rope four times. Slowly, we began withdrawing.

"What happened? Tell me everything!" Luke told me.

"Percy's turned evil," I stated bluntly.

Annabeth nodded sadly.

"The same spell that was put on you is put on him," Grover shook his head sadly.

We reached the opening of Tartarus awfully quickly.

"Hey, Nico!" Luke smiled cheerfully, even though he'd never met him before.

"Hey," Nico was grinning…but oddly. Really oddly.

He stopped pulling; just let the rope hang in his hand.

"We're almost there," Annabeth coughed, cocking an eyebrow.

"I know," he nodded.

"Can you pull us up a little further?" I asked.

"Hmmm…no," he shrugged.

My blood went cold. Eos, the goddess of the sunrise before Apollo, appeared by him, a look of complete bliss on her face. I don't know how I knew it was Eos. Call it instinct, but I was right, because all the other titans appeared behind her and Nico.

"NICO WATCH OUT!" Annabeth screamed.

"Huh?" he looked over his shoulders and his eyes widened in surprise.

Then he turned back to us and I saw the surprise was pretended. A scythe appeared in Eos' hand and she gave it to Nico.

He sliced the rope. We all screamed as we tumbled back into Tartarus.

"Whoops," Nico cackled.
